Happy Thanksgiving

It's that time of year again when at least 1 weekend a month is some celebration which forces you to eat vast amounts of delicious food! This weekend is Thanksgiving and as we look around we have lots to be thankful for so it's an easy one to celebrate. We are spending it by selling lots on the market, finishing the chicken shed, collecting and chopping wood and eating what I'm sure will be a lovely turkey dinner at Kevin & Dianne's tomorrow. David has to work on Monday unfortunately but I'm sure me and the kids can occupy ourselves.

We've eaten some of our home grown chicken and David has started to fill the freeze with yummy rabbits. Our freezers are bursting with goodies as most things are harvested from the garden except the odd leek, Brussels sprouts and still lots of apples.

As I mentioned last time September was glorious with temperatures up to 30 degrees, October came and brought with it a distinct chill, we've even had to light the fire a couple of times and put an extra blanket on the beds as temperatures fell to -3 degrees. The kids also had a few flakes of snow fall at school on Thursday! Then this weekend we've gone back up to 25 again!!! No wonder we've all been full of cold.
